Ultem 2200

Ultem® 2200 is a 20% glass fiber reinforced polyetherimide (PEI) that offers exceptional rigidity, dimensional stability, and thermal resistance. Manufactured by Sabic, this high-performance engineering thermoplastic is ideal for structural applications that require low creep, high strength-to-weight ratio, and flame retardancy at elevated temperatures.

Compared to unfilled Ultem 1000, Ultem 2200 delivers increased stiffness and mechanical strength, making it ideal for demanding environments across the aerospace, automotive, and electronics industries.

 

 

Key Properties of Ultem 2200

• ✅ 20% Glass-Filled: Improved stiffness, strength, and dimensional stability
• ✅ High Heat Resistance: Continuous use temperature up to 340°F (170°C)
• ✅ Excellent Chemical Resistance: Performs well in harsh chemical and high-temperature environments
• ✅ Low Creep and Low Warpage: Ideal for load-bearing components
